εἶπον ἂν καὶ 'τοὺς πρὸ ἡμῶν κεχρημένους
τῷ ὀνόματι, εἰ μὴ καὶ ταύτῃ σε διαταράξειν ἔμελλον, ξένα σοι καὶ ἄγνωστα ποιητῶν καὶ ῥητόρων
καὶ συγγραφέων ὀνόματα διεξιών. μᾶλλον δὲ
οὐδ᾽ ἐγώ σοι τοὺς εἰπόντας ἐρῶ, πάντες γὰρ ἴσασιν, ἀλλὰ σύ μοι ἕνα τῶν πάλαι δείξας οὐ κεχρημένον
τῷ ὀνόματι, χρυσοῦς, φασίν, ἐν Ὀλυμπίᾳ στάθητι καίτοι ὅστις γέρων ὢν καὶ ἀφῆλιξ τὰ τοιαῦτα ἀγνοεῖ. δοκεῖ μοι καὶ ὅτι Ἀθῆναι πόλις ἐστὶν ἐν τῇ Ἀττικῇ καὶ Κόρινθος ἐπὶ τῷ Ἰσθμῷ καὶ Σπάρτη
ἐν Πελοποννήσῳ μὴ εἰδέναι.
